Hopefully the OP poster will post his journey when it is complete as the rules seem to change for each person. You get used to things like that once you have lived here for awhile!

First of all he said the BI website is not up to date and the only way to get precise information from them is to actually go there in person. The documents my friend used was police clearance, notarized from the Philippine embassy in the UK. I asked about it being stamped by a notary public in the UK and he said it was not.

When dealing with government official in the Philippines remember to always be polite as they actually have a law that says the big boss can change instructions, not consistent with the laws!!

Sorry i cant help you anymore.
thanks jake, thats exactly the bit that confused me, now i know police clearance only needs notarised by phil embassy london
